Method and apparatus for processing object provided through display

Abstract

A method of executing a function in response to a touch input by a user on a touch screen and an electronic device implementing the same is provided. The method of processing an object through an electronic device includes displaying a plurality of objects through a display functionally connected to the electronic device. The method of processing the object through an electronic device also includes obtaining an input corresponding to a first object among the plurality of objects. The method of processing the object through an electronic device further includes determining a second object related to the input among the plurality of objects. The method of processing the object through an electronic device includes displaying execution information of a function corresponding to the first object and object information related to the second object through the display.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method of processing an object through an electronic device, the method comprising:
 displaying a plurality of objects through a display functionally connected to the electronic device;   obtaining an input corresponding to a first object among the plurality of objects;   determining a second object related to the input among the plurality of objects; and   displaying execution information of a function corresponding to the first object and object information related to the second object through the display.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein determining the second object comprises:
 determining a touch area related to the input; and   selecting an object of which at least a part is displayed in the touch area as the second object.   
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein displaying the execution information and the object information comprises simultaneously displaying the execution information and the object information. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein displaying the execution information and the object information comprises:
 displaying the execution information;   obtaining a designated user input related to the display; and   displaying the object information based on the designated user input.   
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein displaying the execution information and the object information comprises displaying object information related to the first object. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising canceling an execution of the function corresponding to the first object in response to an input corresponding to the object information related to the second object. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 obtaining a second input corresponding to the object information related to the second object; and   displaying execution information related to a function corresponding to the second input.   
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising terminating the displaying of the object information when a preset time elapses. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the preset time includes a loading time for which data for the execution of the function is loaded. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the loading time includes a time for which the data is read from a memory or a time for which the data is downloaded from an external device. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 9 , further comprising displaying information designated for loading guidance together with the object information while the data is loaded. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein displaying the execution information and the object information comprises:
 determining one or more objects as a candidate object from the plurality objects except for the first object and determining one or more second inputs except for the input as a candidate input; and   displaying input information related to the candidate input and the candidate object.   
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein determining the candidate input comprises determining one or more inputs related to the input as the candidate input based on sub inputs of the input. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the determining of the second object comprises:
 determining a touch position of a touch screen corresponding to the input;   determining a preset area with the touch position as a center as the touch area; and   determining an object of which at least a part exists within the touch area as a candidate object.   
     
     
         15 . A method of processing an object through an electronic device, the method comprising:
 obtaining an input by a user; and   displaying execution information of a function corresponding to the obtained input and input information related to one or more inputs except for the obtained input through a display functionally connected to the electronic device.   
     
     
         16 . An electronic device comprising:
 a display module configured to display a plurality of objects, wherein the display module includes a touch screen having a touch panel; and   a processor configured to obtain an input corresponding to a first object among the objects through the touch panel, determine a second object related to the input among the objects, and control the display module to display execution information of a function corresponding to the first object and object information related to the second object.   
     
     
         17 . The electronic device of  claim 16 , wherein the processor is configured to determine a touch area related to the input and select an object of which at least a part is displayed in the touch area as the second object. 
     
     
         18 . The electronic device of  claim 16 , wherein the processor is configured to cancel an execution of the function corresponding to the first object in response to an input corresponding to the object information related to the second object. 
     
     
         19 . The electronic device of  claim 16 , wherein the processor is configured to obtain a second input corresponding to the object information related to the second object and control the display module to display execution information of a function corresponding to the second input. 
     
     
         20 . An electronic device comprising:
 a display module, wherein the display module includes a touch screen having a touch panel; and   a processor configured to obtain an input of a user through the touch panel and control the display module to display execution information of a function corresponding to the obtained input and input information related to one or more inputs except for the obtained input.
